Over the next week and a half I’ll be driving up to Washington state for the annual Lepidopterists’ Samfélag fundi. Það er staðsett í ferðamanna-gildru bænum Leavenworth, sem er a “Bavarian þema” diorama á póstkort og stífla verslanir. Þó að ég get aldrei alveg skilið að höfða þema bæjum, it is something . . . → Lesa meira: Á veginum aftur

And now for the even more infrequently reoccurring series, vox populi! For those without scarring high school memories of latin class (through no fault of my teacher) I’ll bring you up to speed – the title roughly translates to “voice of the people”.

Welcome to The Moth and Me #12, and my first blog carnival. Despite blogging for a few months I have yet to take a look back and reflect on exactly how I became enamored with lepidoptera in the first place. Remembering a time or location where this happened is impossible, and like . . . → Lesa meira: Moth and Me #12 Deila þessu! 10 athugasemdir - (Athugasemdum er lokað) Skordýrafræði Carnival, Skordýrafræði, Hreisturvængjur, Mölflugum, Moth and Me This moth is just about as rare as its paranormal namesake (except that it’s real) – it’s a Gazoryctra sp. in the family Hepialidae. They represent a basal lineage of the Lepidoptera and are commonly known as ghost moths or swift moths.

Deila þessu!This recent article in the American Naturalist has taken a second look at some of the famously inflated species estimates, some going high as 100 million (Erwin, 1988). Estimates conducted by the authors indicate that projections above 30 million have probabilities of <0.00001. Their estimated range is more likely to be between 2.5 og . . . → Lesa meira: Mat á fjölbreytileika tegunda á heimsvísu Deila þessu!Just a few images of common California leps, taken along the coast range near Santa Cruz a few weeks ago.
